Apple HomeView code hints at security camera features

A Reddit user identified code strings in HomeView version 27.2 that describe a security camera mode. The code outlines features including motion detection, live streaming, and recording options. A setup page within the code explicitly states that HomeView can function as a security camera using HomeKit Secure Video.

The proposed system would restrict video feed visibility to members of the home. It includes an indicator light and sound to alert users when someone is watching the feed or when recording begins. Home members would receive notifications whenever Secure Video mode settings are changed. The feature also offers customizable options for detection, streaming, and recording based on whether users are home, away, or asleep.

Apple has not commented on whether these security camera features are coming.
